Background

Penn State Behrend Alumni Wine Tour

When the leaves turn, it's time to return! Come home to Penn State Behrend on Saturday, October 2, for our annual Alumni Wine Tour, now part of Parents, Families, and Alumni Weekend. This traditional event has been the most popular alumni activity for two decades. Hop on our buses with other Behrend alumni as we visit four North East, Pennsylvania, wineries and taste wines from our region. Learn about how wines made near Lake Erie are influenced by a unique combination of geography, soils, slope, and weather.

The cost per person is just $20. Included with your registration price are tastings at most of the wineries, as well as cheese and crackers. Check-in at Metzgar Center's lobby at 1:30 p.m. Buses will depart promptly at 2:00 p.m. (But come early or stay late in order to take part in all the free events during the weekend - don't forget to register!)

Due to the current COVID-19 protocols, the State of Pennsylvania requires all individuals, regardless of vaccination status, to wear a mask while on public transportation, including buses. By registering for this event, you agree that you and your guests will follow the guidelines.

This is an exclusive alumni-only event; registrant must be a Behrend alumnus/alumna and is limited to 4 seats per registration. Guests do not need to be alumni, but must be 21+ to attend and cannot be current students.

To guarantee your group of friends is seated on the same bus, please select which bus you would like to be seated on and make sure they select the same bus. In order to accommodate our group, the buses visit the wineries at different times. Bus Ernst will stop first at 6 Mile Winery, Bus Mary will stop first at Arrowhead Wine Cellars, Bus Warren will stop first at Courtyard Winery, and Bus Harriet will stop first at Presque Isle Wine Cellars. 

NEW THIS YEAR! The Behrend Alumni Society is selling Penn State Behrend wine tumblers.  Proceeds from this sale benefit the Behrend Alumni Society Scholarship.  Click here to learn more and to purchase your tumbler.  Supply is limited.
